International WaterCentre Newsletter: August 2017

Integrated Water Management (IWM) is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources, but how do we decide on a balance between environmental, social and economic requirements for water, as well as water for intrinsic or spiritual value? MIWM Flexible Delivery Manager Peter Wegener discusses this challenge.

To build on its reputation and world-class offerings in Integrated Water Management, the International WaterCentre is excited to announce that from January 2018 Griffith University will become the IWC’s new strategic home. Read more here.

Education scholarship opportunities

Every year, the International WaterCentre (IWC) in collaboration with several industry sponsors offer several Water Leadership Scholarships to assist talented emerging water leaders in organisations with limited resources for professional development.

In 2017 we are pleased to offer, in partnership with Clearwater, the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning, Melbourne Water and the NSW Water Directorate, five full scholarships and four half scholarships for emerging water leaders.

Scholarships close 30 September 2017, more information on the scholarships and how to apply is available here.

The IWC Masters Scholarships are a prestigious award granted annually to high calibre candidates who clearly demonstrate potential as future water leaders. Two scholarships are available to Australian/New Zealand water professionals wishing to study the Master of Integrated Water Management in 2018.
